The whispered rumors started around
midday on Jan. 18. They gathered steam throughout the afternoon and were
proven true by 9 p.m., when Jimmy Buffett ducked under his guitar strap
and nodded with a smile to members of his Coral Reefer Band.

The Margaritaville mogul took the stage at his own bar on Key West’s Duval Street for his first live performance of 2020.

Buffett and the band had been in Key West recording a new album, “Life on the Flip Side,” for release later this year.

The band played to a packed house of
surprised tourists and in-the-know locals who had been on the receiving
end of the day’s rumors.

With songs that captured Key West’s simpler times, Buffett serenaded sun-loving locals with the lyrics that lured them here so many years ago, and gave the disbelieving visitors the vacation memories of a lifetime.

Jimmy Buffett performed at the 70th anniversary of Le Select in St. Barts on Monday November 11th.

The set list from the show included “Changes in Latitudes”, “Knees of my Heart”, “Son of a Son of a Sailor”, “Chason Pour Petit Enfants”, “Volcano”, “Come Monday”, “Autour de Rocher”, “Brown Eyed Girl”, “A Pirate Looks at Forty”, “Hey Good Looking / Cheeseburger in Paradise”, and “Margaritaville” (thanks to Linda for providing the set list).

Marius Stakelborough started Le Select in St. Barth with his wife Helen on Nov. 11, 1949. He’s now 96 and was able to celebrate the 70th anniversary on Nov. 11, 2019 at Le Select. Jimmy Buffett stopped by to play a few songs. They have been friends since the 70’s and Jimmy has played at the 50th and 60th celebrations.

Jimmy Buffett and the Coral Reefer Band’s “Son Of A Son Of A Sailor High Tide Tour” continued last night at the Honda Center in Anaheim, CA. The set list from the show is now available. Some highlights from the show included “Frenchman For The Night”, “Dreamsicle”, and “Love And Luck”.
